"When we were living through them we called them bad times and thought that we were poor. Only after we had all grown up were we to realize what good times they had been and how very rich we were" - John Boy Walton
Kelly's Daughter, Cheyenne -
"My mom was the most dynamic, intelligent, funny and kind person I have ever known. She gave to others when she had little or none. She was such an enigma, people just felt drawn to her. I will forever hope to be half the woman she was. Mom wasnt just a parent to me, she was my very best friend. We constantly finished eachother's sentences and could always tell when the other wasn't themselves. She knew me better than I knew myself. Mom knew my soul, because we shared one. I grieve the loss of a mother but moreso I grieve knowing I will never find anyone who supported and believed in me like she did. No one will ever love me like she did. No one will ever love her like I did, either. I look forward to an eternity in heaven with her. I love you, Momma."
